Camellia :: Profile and Growing Hints

Camellia varieties include camellia sasanqua, reticulata, higo and japonica. Camellias are among the favourite flowering plants in cultivation. Camellias are versatile as a specimen plant, evergreen background in a border or use camellias as a hedge or screening plant. All camellias like a well drained moist soil with lots of humus as well as a cool root run, so compost and mulch are great. Camellia reticulata prefer a part shaded position, camellia japonica handles full sun and can be clipped into a hedge.
